In an interview with The Times ahead of the release of his autobiography, the ex-international said the abuse took place when he was 13-years-old and he is only now disclosing it at the age of 40.
"It was a tough moment for me," he said."I have still to tell a few of my brothers and sisters and close friends. "It was a big shock for her. A lot of anger. She said she was sorry. She said 'you must not put it in your book, it's private Patrice', but that's when I say 'mum, it's not about me, it's about other kids', then she says 'okay', she understands.
Evra also told the newspaper he has not yet thought seriously about prosecution, even though his mother suggested suing the perpetrator and he received calls from police during his time at Monaco.
